I googled something related to Renegades and came across this thread... love seeing some of the old handles and stories.
I wish I could still hop in the old server and play some 8v8 + spawn renegades. I forget the name of the server, but the password was always tardrace. Not to mention the tens and tens of hours on the IDC duel server with PuC, kaz (formerly khonshu, IIRC), nonreg, and so many others. No other games has - or will ever - come close to pre-Tribes 2 OGL renegades for me personally.
